Mortimer could be said to have had a greater claim to the English throne than himself so his speedy release was not an option. Recreating Llywelyn the Great's campaign in the west, Owain marched down the Tywi Valley. By 1407 this strategy was beginning to bear fruit. As late as 1414, there were rumours that the Herefordshire based Lollard leader, Sir John Oldcastle, was communicating with Owain and reinforcements were sent to the major castles in the north and south. | territory = Full English rule returned to the Principality of Wales Although the Conwy Castle garrison amounted to just fifteen men-at-arms and sixty archers, it was well stocked and easily reinforced from the sea; and in any case, the Tudurs only had forty men. Grass grew in the market squares of many towns such as Oswestry and Welsh commerce had almost ground to a halt. This was in reaction to the public execution of Piers Legh, captain of Richard II's archers, who had been apprehended disguised as a monk. Even Owain's so-called "Pennal Letter", in which he promised Charles VI of France and Avignon Pope Benedict XIII to shift the allegiance of the Welsh Church from Rome to Avignon, produced no effect. King Henry appointed Henry "Hotspur" Percy – the warrior son of the powerful Earl of Northumberland – to bring the country to order. Richard hurried back from Ireland to Wales to deal with Bolingbroke but he was arrested by Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, as he was on his way from Conwy Castle to meet Bolingbroke at Flint Castle supposedly to discuss the restitution of Henry's lands. They met the English army west of Great Witley, just ten miles from Worcester, with Henry IV's army arrayed on Abberley Hill facing south towards Owains army facing north on the defensive Iron Age hill fort of Woodbury Hill, still known locally as Owain's Hill. As part of this plan, Richard began to shift his power base from the southeast and London towards the establishment of a new Principality around the County of Cheshire and systematically built up his power in nearby Wales. King Henry appointed Henry Percy – the famous ‘Hotspur’, legendary warrior son of the powerful Earl of Northumberland – to bring the country to order. Henry Gwyn ("White Henry") — heir to the substantial Lordship of Llansteffan — left Wales forever and was to die in the service of Charles VI of France facing his old comrades at the Battle of Agincourt. Finally, Carmarthen, one of the main English power-bases in the west, fell and was occupied by Owain. In 1409 it was the turn of Harlech Castle. King Henry IV, on his way north to invade Scotland, turned his army around and by 26 September he was in Shrewsbury ready to invade Wales. [14] However, this was on the condition that nine of the defenders be turned over to justice.[10]. Next time: it’s time to head off out of Knighton and on with our journey. This proud man, over forty and grey-haired, was visited with insult and malice. [citation needed]. This suggests that, when Glyndwr appeared before the English parliament in 1400-01 – requesting its intervention in a dispute he was having with Lord Grey of Ruthin– John Trevor, who was "the bishop of St Asaph advised that they should not altogether dismiss the comander Owain… His army partially destroyed the abbey and executed a monk suspected of bearing arms against him. The Tudors no longer lorded it over Anglesey and northwest Wales as they had done throughout the late 14th century. What happened next is something of a mystery. Wet, starving and dejected, they returned to Hereford Castle with nothing to claim for their efforts. English manors and castles fell or their inhabitants surrendered. Abergavenny Castle was attacked and the walled town burned. It may have been a last desperate suicide raid. Royal Pardons were offered to the major leaders of the revolt and other opponents of his father's regime. [4] Another story is that de Grey deliberately withheld a Royal Summons for Glyndŵr to join the new king’s Scottish campaign of August 1400.
